The story behind
Creedence Clearwater Revival released Ramble Tamble in July 1970, as the first single from Cosmo's Factory. The song feels longer than usual, but no less interesting for that. It has distinct parts, as if it were made from pieces of other songs. In the middle there is a touch of psychedelic rock, space and things that don't usually appear in their previous albums. The lyrics talk about how it is to live in the United States, but not as something bad, but as something that is lived in a certain way. The song became part of several compilations, and remains a reference point in their discography. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro 1
